Head Gasket S50b30 OR S50b32 - OE OR OEM

[Dhp507]

I'm in the process of buying a Head Gasket and the mech swears by BMW (O.E ) and nothing else. I'm of the opinion of using Elring as I cannot source a AE/ Goezte /Fel Pro.

Victor Reines is not an option.

Your thoughts on the matter

Thanks for looking :thumbs:

Just out of curiosity... Why is Victor Reinz not an option, if I may ask?

Quality control is not the best.......

Order a vac mls or cometic gasket in stock thickness, they work insanely well for boosted application so I highly doubt it will fail under normal use. :thumbs:

ELRING is OE factory fitted on the s50 engines.

on another note do you have those spare vanos parts available?
